"You have to grind the fresh rice and glutinous rice into powder, if you think grinding by hand is too much trouble you can use a food processor, the effect is the same..."
"Then prepare an appropriate amount of water and sugar, pour together into a fluffy consistency, you don't have to worry, I will show the right ratio at the end of the video, those who are interested can follow along to make it together..."
"Although it's fluffy already, it still needs to be sifted once, to make the powder finer and the texture better..."
"Next sift out a layer of brown sugar powder, it should be quite fine powder, if your brown sugar is clumped up at home, you can grind it a bit with the food processor..."
"Next take out the square molds we bought earlier, put a layer of cake powder then a layer of brown sugar and then a layer of cake powder, smooth the surface, depending on the size of the mold you may need to cut it into small pieces, my mold isn't very big, cutting it further might not leave much after steaming so I won't cut it..."
"Then steam it, about 30 minutes, take it out after it's cooked, unmold it, then arrange the prepared candied fruit on top and it's done."
"You can buy ready-made candied fruit, if you don't like the taste I can teach you later how to make candied apricots."
Du Rourou pointed the camera at the cakes on the table, the square white cakes were neatly arranged on the wooden plate on the table, looking exquisite and beautiful.
"Alright!" After Du Rourou finished filming she turned off the camera, "I'll go edit the video! Come help me later!"
"Go ahead, don't worry," Ding Sha nodded and brought the cakes out to Xiao Jun.
Whenever she filmed videos and only made a few cakes, these would become Xiao Jun's snacks to nibble on.
Eating sweets every day, Ding Sha seriously suspected his recent complaints of toothache were due to cavities.
Everyone was gathered together watching TV in the living room, Ding Sha looked around, "Where's Sister-in-law Gong? How come she's not here?"
"Oh, she went out to buy reading glasses, Old Zhuang's clothes are wearing out fast, she said she could still mend them for him to wear, but with his old age he can't see clearly anymore, so she went to the old goods market over there to buy some reading glasses..." Auntie Zhuang said.
Just as she finished speaking, Sister-in-law Gong came in pushing Si Le.
"Xiao Le?!" Ding Sha looked at him in surprise, at the black mourning bandage wrapped around his arm.
"Sister Ding Sha..." Si Le was trying to stubbornly hold it in at first, but seeing all the familiar caring faces, he couldn't help but cry out.
"My mom... I... I don't have a mom anymore..."
Ding Sha gave a frightened jump, and quickly pulled him to sit down, "Don't cry, don't cry, what happened?"
"Sister Ding Sha..." Si Le sobbed, "My mom... she drank too much, alcohol poisoning... couldn't be saved..."

Ding Sha was stunned for a moment, "...Oh my god... then... what now? Have the arrangements been made? What will you do in the future? What about Little Shitou? Is he okay?"
Si Le said tearfully, "The neighborhood committee helped make the funeral arrangements, they said Little Shitou would be sent to an orphanage, I... I'd have to go too..."
Ding Sha felt somewhat at a loss.
"Can I not go, the welfare home they mentioned I've been there before, all the kids there are bad eggs, fighting and bullying people every day, I don't want Little Shitou to go..."
